9 It’s far better to take refuge in the Lordthan to trust any human leader.
10 All the nations surrounded me,but I cut them down in the Lord’s name.
11 Yes, they surrounded me on every single side,but I cut them down in the Lord’s name.
12 They surrounded me like bees,but they were extinguished like burning thorns.I cut them down in the Lord’s name!
13 I was pushed so hard I nearly died,but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord was my strength and protection;he was my saving help!
15 The sounds of joyful songs and deliveranceare heard in the tents of the righteous:"The Lord’s strong hand is victorious!
